Eugene A. Vaganov

Eugene A. Vaganov is a Scientific Adviser at Siberian Federal University and a full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1997. He has held leadership roles including Rector of Siberian Federal University (2006–2018) and Director on Research at Sukachev Institute of Forest. His work focuses on dendrochronology, climate change impacts on boreal forests, and biogeochemical cycles.

• Biophysics (Krasnoyarsk State University, 1971)
• Ph.D. in Biological Sciences (1975)
• D.Sc. in Biological Sciences (1984)

His research integrates tree-ring analysis with climate modeling to study:

• Climate reconstruction using dendroclimatic records
• Carbon balance in Siberian forests and bogs
• Stable isotope analysis in larch tree rings
• Permafrost forest ecosystem dynamics
• Global Change Biology in boreal regions

Recent publications highlight expertise in:

• Millennial climate trends
• Isotopic signature interpretation
• Process-based dendroecological models
• Forest-steppe climate interactions
• Observatory-based ecological monitoring

Scientific awards include:

• Order of Friendship (2017)
• Alexander Humboldt Prize (2003)
• Golden Sign Diploma (2001)
• RAS Sukachev Prize (2004)

He has mentored over 40 students and researchers, including A. Kirdyanov and O. Sidorova, while collaborating with institutions like Max Planck Institute, University of Arizona, and Stockholm University.
